Textbook QuestionA hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from a 2p state to the 1s ground state. In the absence of a magnetic field, the energy of the photon emitted is 122 nm. The atom is then placed in a strong magnetic field in the z@direction. Ignore spin effects; consider only the interaction of the magnetic field with the atom's orbital magnetic moment. (a) How many different photon wavelengths are observed for the 2p S 1s transition? What are the ml values for the initial and final states for the transition that leads to each photon wavelength?
